In mid-November this year I was part of a panel of global Cloud experts and engaged in a Tweet chat to discuss the future of the Cloud. In this the Cloud of Tomorrow tweet chat session we discussed the emerging technologies within the Cloud Computing ecosystem and how the Cloud is evolving from just being a place for setting up simple Web apps and infrastructure to a destination to enable enterprise grade and business critical scenarios including Hybrid Cloud, Machine Learning (ML), Artificial Intelligence (AI), IoT and Blockchain. The tweet chat was sponsored by HCL technologies and was hosted via their CIO Straight Talk Twitter handle.

In today’s world of Cloud Computing creating Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML)based applications is becoming a reality for organizations of all sizes. Cloud providers such as Amazon, Microsoft, Google, IBM and Oracle et. al. are providing infrastructure, Cloud-based services and in some cases even consulting services to help companies to utilize Artificial Intelligence frameworks, Machine Learning, Big Data to build smart solutions which keep on getting better with continuous use. In this post I am going to review the applications of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning and factors involved in getting started with these in your organization.
